Gayle Bradley 3 Possibility?

[Soulrack]

Gayle said he was retiring and would not be designing any more models.

It certainly would be a very nice knife (not that the current GB2 would not be, as far as I know...) - and I am all for promoting mid and high end linerlock Spydercos, here exists an overrepresentation towards the comp.lock imho.
Also I do like long cutting edges in rather compact handles and tool steels, so yes!

Personally I am not into CF though, Micarta would be great, but G10 fine too.

The GB2 has the best liner lock I've encountered, with the GB1 very close. I've heard a few people complain about it, so maybe I just got lucky with my examples. I love both knives - would be hard-pressed to choose one over the other.

I hear people "complain" about the GB lock being harder to access than other linerlocks,, and I can see why that could actually be when looking at the knife.
Don´t know if it would bother me personally - could be, cause the extreme ease of operation and how "naturally" that works (especially with gloves on) is one thing I actually like with this particular locktype (especially compared to a comp.lock)

I believe a lot of it has to do with getting used to that kind of lock - dexterity, your thumb gets a little calloused, etc. My GB was not easy to open when I got it, nothing's changed with the knife, and now it's easy.

My GB Spydie collection is missing the GB2 & Nightstick, but I feel they'll be easy to pick up in the coming years...his designs need to be in hand to be fully appreciated. In my opinion...the function factor is unmatched.

The previous owner of my first GB had someone customize it to have better access to the lock bar. It actually looks like the knife was made that way. Not long after I bought that I found a good deal on a like new and unmodified GB. At first it was a little hard to open. Then I figured out I can push down on the lock bar and move it open. After doing it awhile it became second nature and I no longer have any issues. I still carry and use the modified one more but not really because I find it easier to use

How about a gb1 with contoured black linen micarta scales ?

[weeping minora]

With the Goddard model being re-run in sprint format, I can see a potential sprint of the Air, or GB1, possible. As is said, interest builds traction for these investments. These models are too costly for me, however, I'd like to see a sprint of one of his designs as a salute to the man himself, Mr. Gayle Bradley.

If I could get any GB1 custom scales, I would be excited.

Linen micarta is typically polished and this too smooth for a knife whose inherent design demands use.

Cuscadi will make custom scales for the GB1

To each their own. The carbon fiber g10 the knife comes stock with has very marginally better traction, it actually might even be more slippery. The polished micarta has a bit of a tacky effect I’ve found with handling and using the micarta street beat. The main way I could see someone’s hand slipping on the Gayle bradly folders is if your doing some real heavy stabbing since both models have pretty neutral handle shapes and not that much guard at the front, in which case it mostly comes down to handle geometry than material or added surface traction
